The book is ecumenical, informative, and practical; suitable for the classroom and ministry settings. The book also provides readers with the author's own introspection on some o fthe pastoral perspectives. Some of the book's topics include the titles and images for Jesus, the parables of Jesus, the micacles of Jesus, the cosmic Christ, and many more.
The book invites people of all ages, but especially young people: youth and college students, to learn more deply and critically about Jesus of Nazareth. For anyone serious about understanding the subtleties and nuances about Jesus's life and ministry, this book is a MUST!
